As a condition of his release, Dassey is not allowed to have any contact with Avery or the Halbach family. Following the show, Dassey got a new defense attorney. He was sentenced to life without parole.

Dassey's murder conviction was overturned over the summer.

Steven Avery is still in prison.

However, the same judge has now ordered that Dassey be freed under supervision, until the the next steps in the case are made clear. Avery has not taken the witness stand. Dassey also does not testify in Avery's trial.

The judge has granted the release of Brendan while a decision is made on the appeal against his case.

Dassey must appear in court as required and surrender to serve any sentence, as ordered by a court.

Dassey's legal team filed a motion for his release from prison in September after his murder conviction was overturned over the summer.

Dassey's attorney told the Guardian past year that his remarks to police "fit the profile of a [false] confession to an absolute T". He is pursuing his own appeal. The case gained global attention after the release of the "Making A Murderer", a Netflix docu-series making a case that the convicted killers were set up by a vengeful Manitowoc County Sheriff's Office. The series spawned widespread conjecture about the pair's innocence.
